Just finished orientation and am about to pick up my first load.
Pros: I have retained much of the control over my little business.
Seems I have a pretty solid dispatcher.
Load board has actually provided me with a couple of loads with a fair price point ($2+ to the truck).
Cons: Lady doing orientation is an idiot.
CRST Malone (Flatbed Division) SUCKS!

I am supposed to be going to orientation on Monday. -

Do you have to get loads only from the CRST board or can you use other public boards such as DAT or truckers edge for example?
-
So far I have only taken loads from the CRST board (found some great stuff). If I am in an area where they don't have freight, I am free to look elsewhere. Don't rely on the boards, call the agent in the area that you are heading to. They have stuff not posted and can really work with you.

nightgunner Thanks this.

It doesn't take long to build up a reputation. If you manage to build a solid one, they will call you just like Daywatchman said. Do not be afraid to negotiate a rate that will benefit YOU. If a solid agreement cannot be reached, turn down the freight. Plan ahead most of all, learn where the weak markets are. I surprised my office when I said I don't go to Chicago. They said "everyone else goes there". That is exactly why I don't, it is flooded with trucks looking for loads. The more trucks there are in a particular area, the lower the rates offered.
